What vitamins give you energy – Can I feel young again?

I always recommend consulting your physician before making any dietary changes. That being said, nothing is worse than being chronically tired all the time, which leads to depression. So let’s boost those energy levels by getting you the nutrients your body needs to feel it’s best!

Feeling good means your body is running right; it’s getting the nutrients it needs to function in the most efficient manner. When you are sluggish and tired, most likely you are lacking specific nutrients. Here are a few of the culprits!

MAGNESIUM

Your feelings of being tired may be caused by chronic fatigue syndrome, which will make you feel tired and depressed all the time. Magnesium can help, so try increasing your magnesium levels and see if you don’t gain some energy. Talk to your doctor about chronic fatigue syndrome.

Purity Products is a company that I buy many of my supplements from. They are an extremely reputable company, and the results I have gotten from their products is remarkable. I highly recommend you give them a try; you won’t be disappointed!

VITAMIN D

Almost every person on this planet has some degree of Vitamin D deficiency, and that deficiency reeks literal havoc on your body. Vitamin D provides you the following benefits:

You must have Vitamin D to absorb calcium and to promote bone strength and growth, which prevents osteoporosis.

Children need Vitamin D to prevent rickets.

Vitamin D fights off depression

Helps in the fight against many forms of cancer

Deficiency has been linked to weight gain and heart disease

Involved in over 2000 genes in the human body

Foods that Contain Vitamin D

Egg yokes

Fish, like sardines, mackerel, and salmon

Some foods are fortified with Vitamin D, but none of them are good for you, like dairy (which causes extreme inflammation throughout the body) and cereal (which contains gluten – see my other article on gluten and why to avoid it), so taking a supplement is far more productive than consuming these terrible fortified foods.

#1 Recommended Supplement for Vitamin D

THE POWER OF VITAMIN K2 – Vitamin K2 is crucial to help make sure calcium winds up in the proper areas in your body, like your bones and teeth, and not your arteries.

IRON

When you feel chronically tired all the time, you need to look at your iron levels. Your fatigue could be caused by iron deficient anemia. You will feel very out of focus, weak, just plain old sluggish and sometimes ornery. You have to realize that you need iron to carry oxygen throughout your body. This is absolutely critical to feel your best.

Discuss this with your physician, because iron deficient anemia could be a sign of other underlying problems. It’s just always a good idea to talk to your doctor if you’re not feeling your best.

NATURAL COFACTORS: Vitamin Code iron supplements is made from 23 RAW fruits and vegetables together with natural food cofactors

VITAMIN C

Whenever you eat foods with iron or take an iron supplement, you want to make sure you also include a good source of the all-important Vitamin C! Vitamin C assists the body in absorbing Iron. Vitamin C is one of the most important nutrients you can take. Human beings and hamsters are the only mammals that do not create their own Vitamin C!

Conclusion

I realize there are a lot of supplements here and a lot of information, and it can be confusing which one to try. I recommend you take them all, but I know that might not be possible right away due to cost concerns. I would definitely start with the Vitamin B12 and the Vitamin C. These are critical to your health and most people are lacking in both.

Talk to your doctor as well. Mine did a blood analysis on me back when I was experiencing fatigue and found where I was deficient so I could remedy it.

Great suggestions! My favorite is the ashwagandha. I find that a good adrenal booster (adaptogen herb) is essential for building long term energy. Most people’s adrenal glands start to weaken as they age and go through stresses. Many of the vitamins you suggested help with regenerating the adrenals too. Nice job.

I enjoyed reading your article about the different health benefits of different vitamins. I definitely need to book in with my doctor to get some blood work done to see where I am deficient before deciding which vitamins would be the best for me. In the meantime, I will look at increasing my consumption of foods that are high in healthy nutrients.

Hi Babs, great information on what I am looking for. I’m trying to get more information on how to get more power to my life.

I really appreciate that you don’t just recommend vitamin pills but also the food providing cretin vitamins. I prefer to take as much from nature as possible.

Now I heard a lot about vitamin B12, I in fact did get these subscribed from a doctor once. Do you not know how I can get these from a food source? We can grow almost everything here and if there si something delivering B12 I’d like to grow it 🙂

Thank you for all that wonderful research and information. I have iron deficient anemia or more like borderline, I can definitely tell when I am running myself thin and not taking care to get enough iron. I have not tried dandelion greens have you had any experience with them and if so have you felt the difference in energy level?

I myself had a lot of problems with drowsiness and just being so tired in general. I went to the Dr. to find out that my Vitamin D level’s were very low. I ended up having to take two capsules a day for about 2 month’s to bring my level’s back up to normal. I don’t remember seeing anything from the Purity Products line. They seem like a good brand to try out though.

Healthy living is so important to every human being, this post point to a different direction we all need to provide nutrition for our body. I like the fact that you highlight the kind of supplements one can take.

Do you have idea on nutritional fact for eyes maintenance? Please share a link of such article. Thank you.

A very helpful article as everyone needs to have all of these supplements and vitamins to fuel our body efficiently as we do our daily activities. These would as well keep as away from any kind of sicknesses especially if these are coupled with some exercises which help to make us more fit and healthier, focused, motivated and more energized in everything we do.

Hi, Babs. Thank you for providing your readers the info about the vitamins. I consume vitamin C plus calcium every day to be energetic in my daily activities. I have ever done a research by googling to know how to overcome my back neck pain. I found that magnesium defficiency can help to relieve the pain. I have consumed the magnesium and I have difficulty to swallow the pill. It seem too big for my throat. What is the dimension of the magnesium pill in this review? Is it easy to be swallowed?

Everyone has to have all of those supplements and vitamins to take care of the body and keep it well fit. These would also help us to be well and stay out from sicknesses particularly including some exercises that facilitate to make us healthier, focused, impelled and a lot of energized in everything we need to do. Thanks for sharing this wonderful information and keep being healthy and safe each day.

Thank you for your insightful and very relevant article. Vitamins should be stressed as much as water is stressed as a necessity to good health, in my opinion. The natural fresh foods are great, but they take time to prepare. What is the number 1 complaint from the majority of us as to why we are not living a healthier lifestyle? The majority would say, they don’t have the time to eat healthy and or exercise to be healthier. Busy, busy, busy! Have to eat on the run, thus “fast food”, there is nothing healthy about that, but we have time to run in and run out or drive through.

Vitamins are a great addition/supplement to our bad eating habits! I take vitamin D and a multivitamin daily mainly for their health implications. I have never heard of the Ashwagandha root but it’s 12 proven health benefits are hard to ignore.

As far as vitamin D is concerned, I am curious about your stance on whether it is viable enough to obtain vitamin d from just getting sunlight? It was something that I have read about in many articles. Does one always need to take it in the form of foods and supplements?

Any article that encourages people to have a look at their own health and know that there are things we can do about our own personal medical issues is always good article.Good work here Babs, thanks heaps 😊

I have been trying to train my body and brain to do with less sleep lately, just trying to get a few more hours in each day and I am finding that it’s all good till about 3pm in the afternoon.

I don’t currently take anything so was looking around to see what might be best to help with this afternoon slump? Do you think I should go with a general vitamin/mineral supplement (as I’m not currently taking any at all) or would just the Vit B12 and Vit C be enough to help?

My friend also suggested magnesium so I was interested to see you had included it too. I have started eating more yoghurt but can you get enough magnesium from foods or is a supplement really necessary?

Foods are your best bet, and then supplement on top of a great diet. Nothing replaces food, hence the word “supplement” to your diet. For energy give the B12 a try and the C. You should always take a multi anyway. Check with your doctor – he can run blood tests to see where you might be lacking. Good luck!

I’m a big fan of taking the right vitamins. And you’ve listed some good ones. Taking Vitamin D works great, especially when I lived up in Washington State. During the winter not having sun for the most part of the year affects mood. When I’ve added Vitamin D, it helped significantly.

Another one you mention is Vitamin C, taking that regularly helps me feel energized. Thanks for the post.

Lots of great information and recommendations here for anybody thinking of taking a vitamin supplement to increase their energy levels.

I think having a blood screen and asking your doctor for advice about deficiencies makes a lot of sense. Besides wasting money if you just take what you think you need, I have heard that one or two vitamins can be quite toxic if one takes too much. Do you have any idea which vitamins one should not consume too much of and what are the side effects if one does?

Glad i found this post – I have friends and family members who are always tired all the time and myself at times too. That was a great suggestion to have a blood test and find out if you have any nutritional deficiency prior to taking any additional supplement. As much as we want to take all these supplements it will be very costly so yeah I will have my blood tested first. I like the Vitamin B12 that you recommended I think I will start with that!

Hello Babs, great article the best vitamins for the body. I have been taking some Centrum everyday, but I have been lacking on them lately. I will definitely have to take the supplements that you have recommended, especially for vitamin C and B12. I love to keep my body right at all times. Thanks again!!!

Thank you, Babs, for these awesome looking supplement suggestions. Overall it was what I believe is a very comprehensive look on the various supplements for more energy. Especially, now as it’s almost Christmas time, I feel that my energy levels are dipping and in that sense this was a very timely discovery of your article. 🙂

I do recognize that each of these have their own unique benefits, but if I were to choose just one of them all – which would you say would be the most beneficial in terms of raising ones energy levels? You mentioned vitamin C and B12, but which would you say is the absolute must?

I myself have also heard good things about the vitamin B12. Other than that, some of my friends have mentioned to me that the vitamin D was a game changer for them. Also that Ashwagandha got me really intrigued.

Hey Babs.
Quite a valuable guide you’ve got here for all the vitamins necessary for one’s health.
I like the fact that you not only recommend supplements but the food source as well.
Thanks for this information.
Keep up the great work.

Vitamins are essential to one’s health.
I love how you not only suggest the supplement but also suggest the food where that supplement can be got from; that gives us variety.
I also love that you’ve made reading and understanding easy by including the nutrition facts.
This helps one to know exactly what he/she is getting, just by looking at the ingredients.
Thanks for this handy guide for essential vitamins.

I really want to try the Ashwaganda. To be honest, I haven’t tried any of the supplements except for Magnesium. It’s a life-saver! About a year ago, I had a herniated disc which was very alarming for me at age 25. I’m happy to say I’m back to 100%, but my back muscles still get pretty tight and I think it’s as a result of having limited use during that time (not to mention all the sitting we do in our culture). Magnesium has helped my muscles to fully relax and heal!

Limited use will definitely cause freezing and pain when you try to use it again. I’m so glad to hear you’re doing better. Magnesium is pretty amazing. The Ashwaganda is great! Give it a try. Best of luck, Christian! – Babs

As a woman, and I don’t mean to be gross here, but I can definitely say that every month I notice how much I need iron. Iron is in your blood so it’s safe to say that losing it in even what’s considered a “safe” amount every month is losing a very important nutrient.

I’ve also noticed that, even though it’s not really considered a vitamin supplement per-say, that apple cider vinegar is great for giving you a steady supply of energy without the crash or jittery feeling. Have you ever tried mixing apple cider vinegar with apple juice? Maybe I’m crazy, but it seems to put more pep in my step for longer.

I’ve never used magnesium alone, but I do notice that a lot of “active” vitamins (vitamins designed for active people) contain fairly large servings of magnesium. I’ll definitely look into adding this supplement to my regimen. Thanks for reminding me that there are ways to increase your energy without using harmful ingredients like those found in most energy drinks!

Thank you for sharing with us this great great article on Vitamins which can give us energy.Walthye all need to look young and feel healthy.With this post,I realised that I need to take some vitamins in my body.

You recommended great supplements which help in different ways and I will look into it and order some like Amazing Oranges Powder 30 day supply to find antioxydant I need in my body.It seems to be good at skin care and that is the priority to a lady to have a good looking skin.

A great post on the many vitamins and supplements that can help you feel better and through this, gain more energy. I read carefully through each of your recommendations, mentally checking off whether or not I was addressing each in my diet and supplements I currently am taking.

The one that stood out was the last. I had never heard of this supplement and after reading through your detailed information, have decided to add it to my regimen. Ashwagandha is totally new to me, but after checking is used here locally in Dubai by many.

The reviewers here also had high praise for its beneficial effect on their energy levels, so I am giving it a try too. Thanks for that and I will let you know how it turns out! One thing is for sure: These days many foods do not have the nutritional value they once did for many reasons, and we all need to do a check once in a while to see what we may be lacking, then take corrective action. You have provided the means to take that action. Thanks!

I think most people have heard of the main vitamins you’ve highlighted in this post but it’s nice to see a break down of what each vitamin does on one page.

A new one to me, however, was the Ashwagandha, this looks really interesting. Do you know if there are any side effects taking Ashwagandha? I know the side effects from drugs used to manage stress can be quite strong.

Something we have over in the UK that really helps joints is Cod liver oil. Is it something you have across the pond?

Oh yes, Cod Liver Oil is amazing! Ashwangandha was fairly new to me as well when I began this research. I have not had any side effects. When in doubt, ask your physician before starting anything new. – Babs

Vitamin D is very vital to our body and everyone needs it both young and old, rich and poor, small and big. I don’t joke with foods that contain vitamin D and calcium, I know how important they are to human body.

As regards fortified foods rich in Vitamin D which you talked about, ain’t they natural foods?
